JACKSON HOLE, WY - A 15-year old high school student is in custody in Teton County, Wyoming in connection with a bomb threat.

Just before 9 o'clock Wednesday morning sheriff's deputies were called to Jackson Hole High School when a student reported they had overheard a bomb would explode in the school at 1 o'clock Wednesday afternoon.

The school was evacuated and emergency personnel began searching for any explosive device.

Around 1:45, the search was called off after no explosives were found. Students were allowed back into the school.

Officers arrested the 15-year old just after three o'clock.

The incident is still being investigated.

This week Gov. Otter signed a bill requiring Idaho to sue the federal government if Congress passes health care reform. What's your response to this?

  • It's great to see Idaho taking the lead on this. Someone has to stand up to what's happening in Washington.
  • We can't afford to pay for education in Idaho, but we're going to spend tax dollars to sue the feds? Ridiculous.
  • Not sure.
